Round 4

About This Event

Round 4 of the 2026 Triple Crown Series takes the field to Gopher Dunes MX in Courtland, Ontario — widely regarded as one of the most physically demanding tracks in all of Canadian motocross. This legendary sand venue has broken machines and tested the limits of even the fittest riders for years, and it remains a true proving ground on the national circuit.

Gopher Dunes is built on deep, heavy sand that saps energy from riders and machines alike. The track features massive elevation changes, rutted corners that deepen with every lap, and long sand whoops that punish anything less than perfect technique. Fitness and mental toughness are just as important as speed here — it is not uncommon for the complexion of a race to change dramatically in the final laps as fatigue sets in. The track's reputation draws huge crowds of dedicated Ontario motocross fans who know they are in for a battle every time.

As the middle round of Stage 2, Gopher Dunes is a critical juncture in the championship fight. Gates open at 8:00 AM local time. Admission, camping, riding & race-practice passes are on sale now — view options and buy below. The event will be broadcast live on Fox Sports and streamed on the Ryde TV app.
